I did quite a bit of research on how to get a theme on my blog. On the surface it seems relatively easy, however, whenever I clicked on a theme tile, I received “installation failed” nearly every time. I did luck out and finely was able to download and activate another theme. I can tell by the text font that my blog for this week has a different font style for the large heading.
Something else that I researched was how to underline. There are a couple of ways to do that. While you are composing, you can click on the Text tab for HTML view and then code your underline. The second way I found, which I believe is the easiest, is to highlight the text you would like underlined and then press Cntrl+U.
Something else that I found interesting while researching how to add a theme to my WordPress was some information about errors and how to fix them:
- “Theme installation failed“: this often happens when there are missing files, or the theme is incompatible with your WordPress version.
- “Allowed memory size exhausted“: this error happens when the theme demands more PHP memory than is currently allocated.
- “Could not create directory“: incorrect file permissions on your WordPress installation directory.
Solutions:
Check File Permissions: ensure your WordPress directories have the correct file permissions.
Ensure compatibility: verify that the theme is compatible with your version of WordPress. check the theme’s documentation or the marketplace page for compatibility information.
Upload the correct file: for the “missing stylesheet” error, ensure you upload the correct .zip file. The correct file should contain the style.css stylesheet.
Check for complete files: if you encounter a “broken theme” error, ensure all theme files are uploaded correctly. Compare the uploaded files with the original theme package to check for missing files.
Consult documentation and support: if using a premium theme like Divi, consult the theme’s documentation for troubleshooting tips. Many premium themes also offer dedicated support forums where you can get help from the theme developers and community.
